My cold remaining, I was ill able to speak. In the evening I was much worse, my palate and throat being greatly inflamed; however, I preached as I could. But I could then go no farther. I could swallow neither liquids nor solids, and the windpipe seemed nearly closed. I lay down at my usual time, but the defluxion of rheum was so uninterrupted that I slept not a minute, till near three in the morning. On the following nine days I grew better. Fri. 17.1 went to Kingswood, and found several of the children still alive to God. Sat. 18. I gave them a short exhortation, which tired, but did not hurt me. Sun. 19. I thought myself able to speak to the congregation, which I did for half an hour; but afterwards I found a pain in my left side and in my shoulder by turns, exactly as I did at Canterbury twenty years before. In the morning I could scarce lift my hand to my head; but after being electrified I was much better, so that I preached with tolerable ease in the evening; and the next evening read the letters, though my voice was weak. From this time I slowly recovered my voice and my strength, and on Sunday preached without any trouble. Wed. 29. After preaching at Pensford, I went to Publow, and in the morning spent a little time with the lovely children. Those of them who were lately affected did not appear to have lost any thing of what they had received; and some of them were clearly gaining ground, and advancing in the faith which works by love. Sun. Oct. 3. I took a solemn leave of the Society at Bristol, now consisting of eight hundred members. Mon. 4. I went, by Sbepton-Mallet, to Shaftesbury, and on Tuesday to Salisbury.
